Genome coverage and heterozygosity values (mean ± standard deviation across 1 Mb windows) per chromosome or scaffold for all studied species. Dashed lines mark the genome-wide median across all 1 Mb windows. (A-F) The chromosome/scaffold names in parentheses next to species names are the expected sex chromosomes/inversion polymorphism scaffolds as described in the Main text and Supplementary Information (Additional File 1). These chromosomes/scaffolds are coloured differently from other chromosomes/scaffolds (which are grey). The sizes of the data points reflect the chromosome/scaffold length. Each of these plots constitutes one of 6 panels in Supplementary Figs. 5–13 (Additional File 1; shown here are the panels based on 0 mismatches, except for Eurasian skylark (A. arvensis) for which we show the panel based on ≤ 2 mismatches), which also have a colour legend for each species. These panels are based on pipeline runs using all samples listed for each species in Supplementary Table 1 (Additional File 2). All species except for mantled howler monkey (A. palliata), Eurasian skylark and central bearded dragon (P. vitticeps) were run using findZX. The mantled howler monkey was run, as described previously, with human (H. sapiens) as a synteny-species. Eurasian skylark was run with zebra finch (T. guttata) as a synteny-species, and for central bearded dragon we used the chicken (G. gallus) as a synteny-species. Silhouettes of animals were downloaded from phylopic.org (credits in Supplementary Information; Additional File 1)
